The Scottish Affairs Committee released a 38-page report today called "Video Games Industry in Scotland," that highlights twenty key proposals it believes will improve the video game industry in the UK. Some of those proposals include tax relief similar to what is offered forto the movie industry, research & development tax relief, and adaption of the Livingstone-Hope Review, among other things designed to create a more prosperous environment for game makers and publishers.

On a related note, the UK industry trade group TIGA said in a press release today that it "welcomed" the report and said that many of the proposals it listed echoed much of what it has said in the past.
